Ambition, distilled from the ashes

Cumbersome, yet still we climb

First breath makes way for light, and a life built on infinite potential

We are spoken to at youth as if our reach is unconfined - no chains, masters

No disease or gods, no fate but what we make;

A message that speaks to the heart of man

Until broken by an ageless truth:

We are governed by space, restrained by time

Surging primal forces engage, a desire to strive for meaning

Here's to the next milestone, it's affirmation:

We all want a life of meaning

These paths we make

This prism you can't escape

You're on your own

The questions remains: is there light in the absurdity of our limits?

Is the Will of an individual a gift of nature or programmed throughout life?

But there is no truth in blind assertion, no satisfaction, or means to an end

Time is an unforgiving truth that has and always will have its own way

It has a way with us all

Fade to black; you crumble the foundation. Ambitions; you crumble the foundation

Fade to black; your hollow essence drifts.. away

Finality: a relief that ends pain and perpetual fear

Infinity: dimensions shift and shake (point to space)

We're on a linear string

Finality: their perpetual fear

Infinity: dimensions shift and shake

Point to space, absolutes

We're on a linear string

Last breaths lead to infinite black

Conscious reach fades

And life is redefined

We are now free

No chains or masters - no gods or disease (we are now free)

It's just fate:

We are born to be swept away

We are now free

Conscious reach fades

Life is redefined

(Finality)

Breathe in, while hope withers away

(Infinity)

Deep inside there lies the embers;

Just sublimate me

(We’re on a linear string)

These obsessions for the end

Here, I stand at the end..

Staring at the cliff from which I once...climbed

Reflecting on past trials, I drift in to another phase

We are swept away, with no hope for extrication

Yet still, we set our life's target on self-preservation

We’re governed by space

Limited by time

Striving for new life

Swept away, with no hope for, extrication

Still, we set our life’s target on self-preservation

Finality: a relief that ends pain

We were born to live and die all the same

Infinity: dimensions shift and shake

We were born to live and die all the same

We’re on a linear string
